Available to hire
Hi, I’m Hugo Costa, a Portuguese IT and digital professional with a passion for the web, design, and brand strategy. I’ve built experience as a Web Developer, Graphic Designer, Digital Marketer, and IT Administrator, helping businesses create coherent online identities and robust technical foundations. I enjoy combining technical know-how with creative vision to deliver practical, visually appealing solutions.
In my work, I leverage tools like WordPress, Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and Blender, while staying hands-on with HTML, CSS, and UI/UX concepts. I’m comfortable managing servers and databases, and I’m driven by learning new technologies to support brand growth and digital marketing efforts.
